SUMMARY OF DISCUSSION
Chairperson Wayne Avery called the regular meeting of the City Planning
Commission to order on Tuesday April 3, 2012, at 7:00 PM in the Council Chamber at
City Hall. Members present were Alan Gregg, Al Heuton, Donna DeKraai, John
Sydow, Hal Bailey, Mike Cameron, and Avery. Greg Fargen was absent. Also present
were Scott Hodges, City Engineer Jackie Lanning, Community Development
Director Mike Struck, Planning and Zoning Administrator Dan Hanson and others.
Chairperson Avery opened the meeting with a tribute to John Gustafson who
recently passed away. John was a member of the Commission and had served one
year as vice-chairperson. On behalf of the Commission, Avery expressed
condolences to the Gustafson family.
Item #3a – Scott Hodges, representing BlairHill Properties, LLC, was present to answer
any questions. He noted that the drainage and wetland issues would be addressed.
Item #3b – City Engineer Jackie Lanning stated that the lot would be used as part of
a drainage system that existed in the Camelot Square area to the north.
Item #4 – Hanson summarized the reasons for the proposed amendments. A parking
space would be defined by a minimum width and length versus an area. Accessory
buildings in the Ag District would have similar requirements as those in residential
districts based on the size of the lot/farmstead. On-premise parking for a
condominium use would be related to the number of bedrooms within a unit;
whereas before, it was related only to the unit. A coffeehouse was specifically listed
within a group of uses that requires ½ the required spaces as a restaurant. This was
proposed since coffeehouse uses typically generate less traffic.
The meeting was adjourned.
